| Route Notes | BC next to US C2 as same as others C3. Always planned to climb normal SW Ridge, not SE Ridge. Easy route on SW Ridge since French had put fixed ropes above their C2 and US fixed below. After 1st teams' success, arrived at BC on 24th, acclimatized, then Carlos went up with De La Matta [again] and reached top. |
